For those who have never used this before it would probably be nice if usage instructions were included. "Currently our shoutcast server is down" gets a little dull on forumhome. Just some simple instructions on how to add stations and get it going would be nice.

Is there something I have to install from shoutcast.com *other* than this mod? How do I set my site to tune into certain stations I want, etc?

OK Never mind. I see now that the server has to be installed and has a 25 KB readme with a lot of complex linux instructions that have to be executed in SSH that I don't have time to hassle with.

You do not need SSH access unless you plan to install Shoutcast server on your webhost.
Make sure you have Unlimited Bandwith on your web package.

The bandwith useage depends on "# of users connected" and the quility of the song in kbps.

uploadspeed / bitrate = max listeners , always leave some for overhead

Example: 256k upload speed / 56k bitrate = max 4 listeners ( 4* 56 = 224kbps ) keep in mind that your provider says he gives you 256kbps upload, the actual speed might be much lower.

The shoutcast server and where it is hosted is up to you.
- I have one sitting on a windows 2k system and a cable modem.
- I have one sitting on freebsd server and a T1.

**SHOUTcast Server is available for the following platforms: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris
http://shoutcast.com/download/serve.phtml

================
Install is not to hard.
In the zip build.
================

product-shoutcast_home_full.xml
install.txt
- upload
-- scast_home.xml
-- includes
---- shoutcast
------ scast.php
------ cache_templates.php
-- images
---- misc
-------- shoutcast_off.gif
-------- radio.gif
-------- im_winmp.gif
-------- im_real.gif
-------- im_qt.gif
-------- im_mirc.gif
-------- im_genre.gif

When you upload the files to your web server you want to keep the folder structure in tact.

Everything in the "upload" folder will be placed in the root of your vBulletin install.

D:\inetpub\vhosts\dev\forums

/forums/scast_home.xml

The forums/includes/shoutcast folder will be made and the php files uploaded.

The images by default will upload where the default style is installed. /forums/images/misc/. If you have a custom style with a different location then upload the images to the custom /images/misc/.

$stylevar[imgdir_misc] - style_location/images/misc

======================
In your Admin Control Panel
======================

Admincp => Plugin System => Manage Products
Click [Add/Import Product]
Browse for the file "product-shoutcast_home_full.xml"
Allow Overwrite
Import

Settings:
Admincp => vBulletin Options => Shoutcast Forumhome

Has anyone been able to get this to work on vb3.6.5?
I installed/reinstalled numerous times, and still have had no luck.
I did set the CHMOD to 777.

Within my "installed products" page, this is not underlined, like the rest of my mods are...
Any help would be appreciated...

CHMOD is usaly built into the FTP program you use to upload file to your webserver.
- properties of the XML file should allow you to change the permissions.

I am working on a database version to allow the admin to add multi IP's , Ports, Passwords, ect ..

Client side display will be a default station and the rest in a dropdown or something. I have not designed the front end yet.

I have it working on all 3.6.x versions. The underline or not is choice of the developer during assembly.
I will update in the next build. Thanks.

To put less load on the shoutcast server and to speed up page loads. The shoutcast info the script gets is cached to your local webserver in a XML file. The XML file is called up when there is a request to show the data. If your cache file does not update then you are not connecting to the shoutcast server. (cache file is always "zero" kb)

9 out of 10 times this is because of settings (port,ip,password) or your webhost has blocked ports in their firewall. Many hosts only allow queries for data on port 80 (http, rss, xml feeds). This hack will pull the XML feed from your shoutcast server port. I have seen many webhosts designate a port for "other" needs of their clients.

If you are 100% sure your setting and install is correct.

Send a ticket to your webhost and see if ports are blocked (ie:8000). If so they may give you another port you can use. Reset your shoutcast server to output on that port. Lastly, if there is nothing that your host will do, you can move the shoutcast server to output on port 80 vs. 8000 and your webhost should read the feed.
